Kthxilyxxx's (Short) Version of the LwD Movie!
Scene Three
Disclaimer: Don't own Life with Derek, unfortunately.
Lily Sat back down at her table but Sam had taken her seat so she sat next to Casey instead of across from her, like before.
"Your friend over there is a bunch of trouble. You better watch him." Lily stated, attention directed towards Sam.
He chuckled, "Don't I know it. He's always been trouble." He answered.
"Yeah, especially since he met me." Casey added.
"Do I want to know?" Lily asked, jokingly.
Casey smiled, seemingly staring of into the distance- but really she was thinking about the day they first met- for just a few seconds before zoning back in and directing her vision back to the conversation.
"Ever since we first met, he decided to make my life a living nightmare." She explained to Lily.
Lily looked at her skeptically before glancing at Sam who nodded in agreement.
"How long have you two known each other?" Lily asked.
"A very long four years, so far." Casey replied.
Sam felt his pocket vibrating so he looked at his cell phone.

From: Derek
Dude I need u 2 run interference. W/e u do dont let Lily n Casey talk about me w/ each other!
Sam's eyes widened as he heard Casey say, "He's just so frustrating!"
"That he is!" Sam said, "But you know what's worse? Trying to get around this place in a reasonable time frame, am I right?!" Sam tried nervously to change the subject.
The two girls eyed him as if he had grown another head.
"Umm, a bit off topic, but I guess you're right. This place is huge." Casey answered.
"Yeah, well I know talking about Derek makes you angry and who wants that?" Sam explained.
"It's true, it does make me angry." She answered, mostly trying to emphasize to Lily her distaste for her step-brother.
"You know what I was wondering, Casey?" Sam started, just thinking of something not exactly related to Derek.
"Hmmm?" she replied.
"Are you gonna keep singing for D-Rock or are you giving it up?" Sam asked.
Casey sighed, thinking of the times she had to save Derek's butt by singing for him, "I don't think Derek wants me in D-Rock anymore." Casey responded. Meanwhile, Lily was staring back and forth between the two of them, utterly confused.
"D-Rock?" She pried, realizing no one noticed she was kind of out of the loop on this one. And Lily Bennett was never out of the loop.
"Oh. Right. D-Rock is Derek and Sam's band. It also includes another friend of their's: Ralph, he's the drummer. I sang for them twice. In fact, the only public performances they had ever had, I was singing for them." Casey explained.
"I see, and if Derek likes to make you so miserable, why did he ask you to sing?" Lily asked, Oh I am so on to him, she thought.
"I was his only hope the first time. The second time he was too embarrassed to sing a song that we wrote for his girlfriend at the time." Casey responded.
"We? You co-wrote a song together?" Lily asked, This is getting interesting, she thought.
"Yeah, well... he kind of begged me, and his girlfriend was a really good friend of mine. Anyways... she told him to write her a song about his feelings for her, and Derek couldn't do it so he tried making me write the song, but I compromised and told him I'd help him write it. Then, right as he's about to go onstage, he begs me to sing the song for him because the song was 'so embarrassing'." Casey explained, using air quotes.
"Mhmm." Lily responded, with a sly smile. Something about her expression set Sam off and he realized they were right back on the Derek talk.
"Anyways! Enough about Derek, what are you two up to later?" Sam asked excitedly, (Insert weird Life with Derek sound effect here.)
The girls gave him another look of confusion before replying.
"Well, I don't have anything to do. My classes are over for the day, and being the first day, of course: No homework!" Lily smiled at the two of them.
"I have one more class later, but after that, I figured I'd just hang around in my room." Casey said, a lame attempt to stay cool about her lack of social life.
"By yourself? No that won't do! You're coming with me!" Lily ordered.
"Coming where, exactly?" Casey asked hesitantly.
"Well how about... we hit the town? Do a little shopping?" She offered. Casey smiled, I can definitely get used to having this girl as a friend, she thought.
"Sounds... great." She replied contently.
"Righty-oh! Well I promised my mom that I'd call her sometime today, so I think I should go do that. It was nice talking to you Sam." She smiled at him, letting her gaze linger as he returned the grin. Once she was satisfied that her subliminal 'you're kind of cute' message had gotten through, she turned to face Casey. "And I'll see you later, Casey!" She said before waving to them and scurrying off with her cell phone readily equipped.
Once she was out of ear-shot and sight, Casey felt free to say, "So... you and Lily, huh?"
Sam choked on air, "Uhhhh, what?" He asked unaware of her intentions.
"Oh, come on. That stare that you two just shared? Yeah, you like her." Casey said.
"Please, Casey. I hardly know her." He argued, unconvincingly.
"Right..." She smirked.
"You've lived with Derek way too long." He said laughing at her expression. Immediately her jaw fell and her eyes widened.
"I am nothing like Derek." She said pointing a finger in his direction.
Sam furrowed his eyebrows and held up his hands in mock surrender. "Yeah, sure. I totally agree." He said sarcastically.
Casey scoffed playfully and rolled her eyes at her friend.
"I know Mother, but I just got done eating lunch with some new friends!" Lily argued to her cell phone. The voice on the other side went unheard before Lily replied again, "Yeah, sure. I know its your birthday in two days."
"No I can't come back home!"
"Uhhh, maybe because I'm in a different COUNTRY!?"
"I know, I'm a horrible daughter, but I promise when I come home for Christmas break, I'll be a changed woman."
"Stop laughing! I'm trying to change for you and you don't even have faith in me!"
"Alright, well since you won't stop being inconsiderate, I'm going to hang up now."
"Yeah, you too. Bye Mom." She finished her conversation and closed her phone.
She turned around and looked ahead of her only to jump in surprise. She hadn't known he'd been there the whole time, but she really hoped he didn't hear the whole conversation.
"So. Troubles with the parentals?" He said slyly.
"Eavesdropping, Derek? Meddling is not a flattering trait in a human being."
Derek barked out a laugh, "I could say the same for you! You think you know my situation, but you don't."
"Derek, its not that hard to see that you like Casey. I bet you Sam figured it out, unless you've already told him. Which I doubt because you seem to be in denial." Lily challenged.
"I'm not in denial! I don't like Casey. She's-" Derek started, spitting out the word, 'like' as if it were diseased. He was interrupted, yet again by Lily.
"I honestly don't want to hear your excuses, Derek. But I am sure that you'd be happy to know that she had a lot to say about you. Can't say it was... all good things. But it was frequent! Can't seem to get you off her mind, apparently." Lily said, and Derek subconsciously froze in his place, eyebrows raised in curiosity. Not that he'd ever admit it. "Oh, got your attention now, eh?" She laughed and Derek shook his head vigorously.
"No, you need to listen to me. Casey and I are-" Foiled again as Casey herself stepped into the same hallway that they were in.
"Hey Lily! Hey...ugh." She greeted them both.
"Oh how clever, Case. Can't think of an insult so you just scoff at me? Wonderful use of your brain power." He smirked lively at her, completely forgetting about the third party in this equation.
Lily watched as Casey turned to Derek and stepped closer to him. "Hmm, I'm not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not, seeing as how you probably don't even know how to SPELL compliment." Her eyes narrowed. She was fuming already, just thinking about all of the times Derek has ticked her off.
"Thanks for the insult, but I honestly honestly don't care what a keener like you thinks of me." He argued, getting closer to her. They were inches apart, their eyes baring into each other, not even aware of their surroundings until...
"Yeah right." Lily mumbled, she thought it unnoticeable, but apparently it hadn't gone unheard. The pair of step-siblings broke their heated gaze from each other to look at Lily. She just cleared her throat and chuckled nervously. "I'm just gonna... ummm... yeah." She offered before pointing in a random direction, leaving Derek and Casey to watch her in confusion.
